> It is much harder to try and prosecute this across international lines, especially in India where corruption is much more rampant Wrong. In fact it is the opposite. India is taking steps to crackdown on these scammers as and when it receives requests from foreign governments: 1. TalkTalk call center workers arrested in India: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35425275 http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35425275 2. IRS scam drop off after India arrests: http://www.app.com/story/money/business/consumer/press-on-your-side/2016/11/04/irs-scam-calls-india/93249474/ http://www.app.com/story/money/business/consumer/press-on-yo... 3. India arrests 70 in alleged tax scam targeting Americans: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/india-tax-scam-against-americans-sees-70-people-arrested/ http://www.cbsnews.com/news/india-tax-scam-against-americans... > (India has a much higher corruption index than Western nations like US, Canada, UK, France and Germany.) Your argument that it could happen is basically saying that in India the chance of this happening is > 0% and in the UK the chance is > 0%, but that doesn't mean that the chance of it happening in India is the same as it happening in the UK. What you are talking about is corruption "perception" index with "perception" being the key word. Just because India has a higher "perceived" corruption index does not make it actually more corrupt that the Western countries. This "perception" arises from economic disparity/divide rather than any quantitative analysis of actual prevalent corruption. Here is an interesting food for thought: All corrupt politicians, businessmen etc who, when caught by the investigative agencies in India, flee the country. You know their favorite destination? The United Kingdom. Surely if the UK had a much lower corruption index, it wouldn't tolerate and harbor corrupt officials and businessmen fleeing India right? If you don't believe me, here are few examples: 1.

India hands over list of 57 fugitives to UK: http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2016/nov/07/india-hands-over-a-list-of-57-fugitives-including-vijay-mallya-to-uk-1536002.html http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2016/nov/07/india-han... How about Switzerland? It possibly ranks the lowest in corruption index. Yet, you find that all black money hoarders stash their ill-gotten wealth in Banks in Switzerland. No tax, highest secrecy and excellent protection of wealth is nothing but legalized corruption in my opinion.
